Luke Saunders

Luke Saunders is founder and CEO of Farmer’s Fridge, a Chicago start-up that helps make fresh, wholesome food easily accessible. Its automated Fridges — which vend delicious fresh salads, sandwiches, proteins and treats — are in 100+ locations across Chicago and Milwaukee. Luke ran his first business, Bears’ Bikes, as an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis. Working after graduation as a traveling salesman, Luke was regularly challenged finding fresh food on the road, and arrived at the concept for Farmer’s Fridge: good health starts with what we eat, and eating well shouldn’t be hard. Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, Luke set out to build a disruptive yet simple way to provide fresh, healthy food for all.
